Positive stopper
The positive stopper is useful for setting the des-
ignated angle quickly. Turn the positive stopper so
that the arrow on it points your desired bevel angle
(22.5°/45°/50°). Loosen the lever and then tilt the tool
base until it stops. The position where the tool base
stops is the angle you set with the positive stopper.
Tighten the lever with the tool base at this position.
